I love that she thanked the director calling him "that forgotten man" because he was not nominated. That was a very nice thing to do.
Yes, it was.
Beresford is anti-abortion. That is why he was snubbed.
@@aleksinfroid4644 you've own for the crazy in the comment section.
Obviously, that's Bruce Beresford, who's got two Oscar nods. One, for writing "Breaker Morant"
in 1981 and two, for directing "Tender Mercies" in 1984. That's all there is to it.
However she did not mention Morgan Freeman by name and failed to thank her long time husband actor Hume Cronyn.
Jessica Tandy was absolutely brilliant in Driving Miss Daisy! A well deserved Best Actress Award. I have watched that movie over and over again and every time I do, I can't helped be amazed of how brilliant she was.
Very lucky to have seen the movie ....all I've seen the Trailer. Excellent & outstanding.
One of my favorite my❤
Morgan Freeman is a class act - he helped her on to the stage and made sure she didn't fall. Truly a gentleman.
He was her co-star in Driving Miss Daisy.
Yes, I saw that. Go Morgan!
KOHF34 I
he clearly patted her way before she walked up the stairs alone
Now he's a registered sexual predation act
One of the finest movies ever made. Sweet, simple, brilliant. Jessica was breath taking. Great talent. Greatly missed.
ONe of my all time favorites!!!!! Such a talent and class act. We shall never see the likes of Jessica again.
Horrible, boring, for stupid people!
sounds about white.
@@pjangels609 Just like your username 🙄🤡🖕
@Benjamin CI've never been called boring in my whole life, but stupid... maybe twice. Now why are u such a bully?
Amazing performance. One of the most heartbreaking and touching of all. Jessica Tandy was at her best during the last years of her career.
Jessica Tandy played with Gregory Peck in a film called "The Valley of Decision" some 45 years before she won this Oscar that he presented to her.
interesting
Jessica Tandy is AMAZING in this movie so well deserved.
She also did amazingly in the film fried green tomatoes to I hope she got an Oscar for that one
@@RailPreserver2K She was nominated
She was awesome I'm so happy she won that Oscar she looked so gorgeous at literally 80 amazing lady ❤️
Had the orchestra been practicing the "Driving Miss Daisy" theme for hours? They freakin' nailed it.
Alfred Valrie uh...they're professional musicians (that means they're really, really good)....
They practice all the movie themes for each nominees, and then when the winner gets announced the conductor will look at the appropriate sheet music and conduct that.
+Alfred Valrie Interesting Trivia, Hans Zimmer composed the score completely with synthesizers, all of which he played. No orchestras were used. A true genius.
LOL, it would be awesome if they made a mistake once. :)))
And the Oscar goes to... Helen Hunt in As Good As it Gets.
*Every night in my dreams, I see you... I feel you*
Shit!!!
lolz--I don't know why the Academy gets dragged continually about that one.
oops--we were playing the song from the movie with an actual actress
truth is, I love "as good as it gets"--it's fun. i think when hunt and nicholson both got statues that year, the Academy was like, "oh well, it's late, we're done counting votes--just give it to helen and jack"
Driving Miss Daisy is one of the best films I have ever seen.
the orchestra nailed the theme of driving miss daisy
siddharth nagar Was in all the cerimony take look Stone win for Bourn on the fourth july!!
@@blackpark1910 yaa they kinda perfevtt all of them, it's just I saw any Oscar thing for the first time
This is one of those times where it is clear the other nominees are just as happy as she is with the result
Michelle Pfeiffer should have won for "Fabulous Baker Boys", but she's smart enuff not to steal Jessica's moment knowing this was her last chance for an Oscar
Jessica Tandy is synonym of great acting, be it on stage or on film. How wonderful to have been able to catch glimpses of her immense talent in a few films. I saw her on stage once doing the famous "candle" monologue from A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE and in three minutes she had the whole audience in tears. A great actress, a great lady. Too bad that she and her other great fellow actors are gone now.
You saw the original Broadway production of STREETCAR? *jealous*
Marvin Melhorn No, unfortunately I was not even born then, 1947, but I saw her and Hume Cronyn on the stage in the late 1970's doing scenes from their great stage hits. They were wonderful, as you can imagine.
Ricardo Bigi I have always regretted I was born too late to see Tandy create Blanche du Bois. It is a sin and a shame that she was not cast in the film version. I also deeply regret not having seen her Cordelia to Gielgud's Lear, not to mention her creation of Agnes in Albee's A Delicate Balance, a role in which she was again passed over for the film version.
She was always such a class act. I miss her so.
Wow. After decades of hard work as a working actress, albeit tony award winning stage performances, Mrs. Tandy gets what she had only hoped for it her most timid of dreams. Truly magical to watch her face light up like that.
So convinced was she that she would lose out, Jessica Tandy had a one hundred dollar bet with her agent, that she wouldn't win the Oscar for Best Actress. When she paid up on Oscar night, she told him that it was the best bet she had ever lost
Loved this little story!
Love her truely but can't believe not one word for Morgan Freeman but that's alright WE all know his value there and I'm whiter than milk!
My winner was Michelle Pfeiffer but I really see why Jessica won
Agreed. Michelle Pfeiffer should have won.
@@renegaderunner332 I bet that Michelle Pfeiffer will probably win when she's old as Jessica Tandy...
@@jorgeesquiviaescobar4149 Let's hope she wins sooner than that. She in in her 60 right now. She also needs to get back into the game. She has not made a mainstream film in quite awhile.
I am glad you can see why.
@@renegaderunner332 She just did this year and it’s generating some Oscar buzz. Not sure if she can win as she may be fighting against Kate Winslet, Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Sophia Loren and Vanessa Kirby.
They should play that music every time someone wins an oscar.
YES THEY SHOULD!!
GracefulDanny yess
I agree
This is like the best movie theme of all time.
The original theme music was composed by none other than Hans Zimmer.
The other Jessica must have had a heart attack when she heard her first name and then crushed when she heard the wrong last name ahaha.
Yeah, but she already had an oscar at that point so I think she was alright. Jessica Tandy really deserved that.
Same with Mark Rylance and Mark Ruffalo at the 2016 oscars when the winner of the best supporting actor category was announced...
Tell me about...I almost died with that. Specially cause the last name started with the same letter. I watched that and it felt like slow motion. Mark R....ylance.
Hamiltrongames She had already one in her name for Tootsie and won her second four years later for Blue Sky, which was epic.
Dont worry for J Lange...she has hers 2 oscars....and still is active very much......
Driving Miss Daisy is one of the few movies I enjoyed watching with my parents back in the day.
I love her. I love the music. I love her speech. I love that she thanked Bruce. I love that she won this award!
Jessica Lange was so beautiful! OMG
Yup
Wasn't she a doll I just watched that movie and I was thinking that the whole time 🙂
Love this video, and so happy Jessica Tandy won. However, if there could have been a tie, so that Pauline Collins's unforgettable performance in Shirley Valentine could have also been recognised, that would have been brilliant!
And love how perfectly the orchestra plays the Driving Miss Daisy theme when Jessica wins - astounding!
I want Pfeiffer to win an Oscar one of these days
Robert Harris totally, Ive been impressed in everything I see her in.
She's ok I guess....
She may in 2021. For French Exit :)
@@Davey7358 was just about to write the same thing! Ha
Well the nominations are out and she was not even nominated. Sad though.
Jessica Tandy was so deserving of this award rip.
A well-earned Oscar if I do say so myself.
Went I went to audition at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, they actually had her Oscar on display! It was so cool lol
Wait! Sally field for steel magnolias??? no nomination ??? My fav part of this movie is the breakdown at shelby's funeral!! that scene was everything!
DidiLennonJK yes very surprising.Sally was phenomenal in that role and she got no love for it. Only Julia got the Attention at golden globes and still lost the Oscar to Brenda Fricker.
DidiLennonJK Shirley should have been nominated for BSA too but the whole cast made Steel Magnolias a great heartbreaking movie
True
@@CraigJordanLA Sally was nominated for a Golden Globe but agree should've gotten Oscar nod.
Steel Magnolias was snubbed so hard at the Oscars that year... the entire cast was brilliant. It wasn't even nominated for Best Picture either.
"I am on cloud 9". Love it
Morgan Freeman was also perfect in this movie!
Michelle Pfeiffer should've won an Oscar for her performance in The Fabulous Baker Boys, she made that movie.
Pfeiffer I didn't deserve it. Mrs. Tandy is the just winner
Michelle won nearly every other award that year; would love for the stars to align and see her onstage with an Oscar win someday.
You're right. Pfeiffer won practically most if not all the industry and critics awards.
This Oscars were given when older stars had a better chance winning Oscars.
Unlike later years when odds-on favorites such as Lauren Bacall and Glenn Close were shockingly shut out on the day of the Oscars.
@@shihlin1 Lauren Bacall got an Honorary Oscar.
@@markelijio6012They'll give Glenn her honorary Oscar someday, better be soon cuz she's already 75.
With EIGHT Oscar noms stretching back to 1982, it would be a travesty if the Academy denies her one.
In fact, I'm quite shocked they haven't given her one by now, the honorary that is.
Oh, dear g-d, Isabelle Adjani was phenomenal in "Camille Claudel!!"
She is so beautiful!!!
An absolutely beautiful moment to see Miss Jessica Tandy win this wonderful award she was a lovely woman and well deserved winner of this oscar pure class in every way a terrific person never to be forgotten !!!
Jessica Tandy came on very strong in her later years....like Katharine Hepburn and others, the epitome of continuity throughout a career.
Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman literally breathed life into Driving Miss Daisy. Having said that, I would have loved to see a tie between Tandy and Michelle Pfeiffer
We watched this so many times in school still wanna watch it till now..
I know she thanked the cast but I think she should have given a special thanks to Morgan Freeman.
Karen Morris I thought the same thing. I kept waiting for it like she was going to save it for last and then nothing.
I was scrolling down to see was anybody going to mention what was on my mind. I couldn't believe that she would not single out Morgan Freeman for his terrific performance as her Co-star in the film!!
Wow I was disappointed & SHOCKED!!!!
She seemed to be quite nervous. I’m sure that had something to do with it.
perhaps she forgot because at that time he was already in an advanced age
It happens! I forgot to thank my wife at our wedding because i was nervous.
i think this was the toughest competition in the history of anything. And my god Michelle looks stunning as usual, Jessica Lange is one of a kind actor and Jessica Tandy, well she's a legend
I just watched this INCREDIBLE movie, Driving Miss Daisy for the hundredth time!! Her acting in it was well earned for this award!👏 and I pray 🙏 she knows just how special and wonderful she was! Thank you Ms Tandy for all the years of acting, the joy you have given me watching this movie, along with Fried Green Tomatoes will always be my all time favorites..Rest in glory along with your beloved husband..❤🙏❤
The class of Gregory Peck. Never before and never after. Fantastic actor 🤗🌷🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Michelle Pfeiffer and hopefully Isabelle Adjani win it as Senior Citizen nominees. Both of them are due.
Andrew Frantz debra winger too
Yeah I agree 100%
Despite having made her film debut many decades before, Jessica didn't become a movie star until her 70s, especially at 80 with "Driving Miss Daisy". She still holds the record as the oldest actress to ever win an Oscar.
It was shocking
Jessica Tandy stared in Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds" so, speak of things that you knew 😂
Rest in love, Ms. Tandy...you are terribly missed!!!
What a classy actress. Well deserved!
I was waiting for this one... thanks for posting.
Jessica was brilliant. So was Bruce another outstanding Aussie director.
Michelle Pafeiffer é uma atriz fantástica. Fico triste de até hj não ter um Oscar, que ja deveria ter a tempos. Ela fez outros trabalho incríveis
Driving Miss Daisy is one of my all time favorite films!
So lovely and gracious... thank you for sharing this wonderful video. Jessica Tandy had class and elegance in spades :)
Jessica Tandy did deserve to win, but Michelle Pfeiffer was my winner.
Just finally got around to see it, what a fantastic, nuanced film. Tandy totally deserved this. Bravo.
You'd be surprised the critics had pegged Michelle Pfeiffer to win for "Fabulous Baker Boys".
@@shihlin1 that is surprising
Such a great film...makes me cry every time at the end...Jessica Tandy is a gem! Pure kind humble...
Thanks so much for uploading this! My favourite movie :)
Isabelle Adjani probably really gave the best performance out of the five nominated (it certainly was the most challenging role out of the nominees... though I personally didn't like Camille Claudel). But I LOVE the selection of Tandy anyway, and I loved Driving Miss Daisy.
I fervently hope she'll win an Oscar for Best Leading Actress in the future.
Agreed. It was a tour de force, though not entirely untread emotional territory for her, sharing more than a little similarity with L'histoire d"Adele H.
One of my favorite films of all time. A wonderful tour de force performance. A touching, loving, heartfelt story of aging, no matter what year you were born.
Such an incredible career yet not often talked about. Multiple Tony awards including as the original Blanche Dubois in a Street Car named Desire opposite Marlon Brando in his breakout performance. Performed alongside the greatest ever Hamlet, Sir John Gielgud, and the greatest ever Henry V, Sir Laurence Olivier. Shame theatre shows were not filmed back then so a wider audience could now appreciate her body of work.
What a lovely lady and fabulous actress! She deserved more than one Oscar!
GREAT actress Jessica, you have to come back one day!!!
What a beautiful lady she was inside and out.
She was brilliant. An astonishing moment
i have goosebump coz of the standing ovation wow. and her dress very beautiful, glittering like diamonds.
I think that the academy had the feeling that it's was the last time that Jessica will be there, that's why the music sounds amazing when the won
1:08 - 1:55. I LOVE that music, a nice mix of orchestra and synthesizers.
A great actress and a very great lady. Well deserved.
I was lucky enough to have seen her in The Gin Game and Glass Menagerie on Bway. But my greatest theatre moment ever was at a memorial service for Tennessee Williams at the Shubert Theatre in NY where Jessica Tandy lost 30 yrs. in a split second and became Blanche Dubois delivering a monologue from Streetcar. The only true spontaneous standing ovation I have ever witnessed occured the split second she finished! Truly amazing!
Very Well Deserved!! One of the best movies ever!!
Dommage pour Isabelle Adjani... Elle le méritait tant !!!! Gérard Depardieu aussi...Vraiment rageant... et des années plus tard ils le donnent à Marion Cotillard...
I'd love it if you guys could put Gregory Peck's Oscar victory speech for "To Kill a Mockingbird". So Oscars, when you're doing your next batch of uploads, could you try to keep that in mind?
I still can't believe she's the oldest actress to win an Oscar. To me, she looked younger than her age.
Such a class act and I hope Emanuelle Riva wins this year.
💐💐RIP Jessie Alice Tandy (7 June 1909 - 11 September 1994) (aged 85) you will truly be missed and my prayers go out to you and your family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for entertaining us all those years. 💐💐
She was stunning, God bless her
Well deserved! I first remember her from “Batteries Not Included” yet I know she had a lifetime of great work before.
I absolutely adore Jessica Tandy! 💕
It was good to see old Hollywood together in Peck and Tandy
Love her elegant diction ...
Unforgettable.
She is very much missed and was a very beautiful woman both in her youth and as she aged so gracefully. As a fellow Brit, her taking her talents from her beginnings in London across the pond where she became an icon of Hollywood Cinema really make me proud.
Driving Miss Daisy was one of those films I saw as a kid that stayed with me for life.
Ha ha For a a nanosecond Jessica Lange thought it could actually be hers. So funny at 1:04
+snowballwannabe and she looks pissed as usual that she didn't win. She even looked annoyed when she won her oscars (both underserving anyways).
The Rylance/Ruffalo thing from this year's Oscar immediately comes to mind
she is amazing.... she deserves every award she gets!!!
Gunnhild Edwards undeserwing? Are you crazy?
To her credit, she seems baffled to suppose it would be her. There was no real doubt in this mix who'd win.
Driving Miss Daisy is a classic
Wow what a great actress!! She was one of those actresses that just had that old face even when she was young she looked old. She made so many great movies
What a wonderful lady
Its still being watched and was a huge box office hit and Tandy is a class act
0:32 she is so beautiful
What a wonderful actress.
Tender story. Great photography and brilliant music. My favourite picture is when camera is on the tyre ( when she wants to go to grocery ), car moves off and the main music theme starts.
Jessica Tandy was a legend, without a doubt but michelle pfeifer deserved that oscar.
"Driving Miss Daisy" may not have been a great film, but Jessica Tandy was marvelous in it. I was in awe of her throughout.
Marvin Melhorn not a great film????
wonderful movie
Music Box is an under-rated movie - Great performance from Jessica Lange, although writer Joe Esterhaus basically used the same "did-they-or-did-they-not" plot device in a number of movies JAGGED EDGE, BASIC INSTINCT and MUSIC BOX.
Jessica Tandy is a legendary actress. Her body of work is amazing and this Oscar win topped off a stellar career! Her portrayal of Blanche Dubois in "A Streetcar named Desire" was so powerful and even Karl Malden who was also in the Broadway production said in an interview that he always felt Jessica was a better Blanche than Vivien Leigh. But often in Hollywood it's a marquee name that often dictates if a movie is made so it's wonderful seeing this well deserved moment again..
Jessica Tandy as she walks off stage: "Gregory who?"
Her final movie was "Nobody's Fool" starring Paul Newman in 1994.
Muy merecido Oscar para Jesica Tandy !!!😍 Y también lo mereció Morgan Freeman 😊
Isabelle Adjani
She looked absolutely beautiful ❤️
When the Oscars were something worth watching.... RIP to the ultimate Hollywood couple, Jessica and Hume.
just teared up
Merecida por demás ésta premiación, su excelente trabajo me cautivó tanto como la conmovedora actuación que tendría después en "tomates verdes fritos" junto a Kathy Bates. Sin embargo, en justicia también debió haberse reconocido la actuación de Morgan Freeman. (un "joven" actor que vino a demostrarnos como se puede empezar una brillante carrera en situaciones desfavorables) En fin, cosas de la Academia.
That was the longest standing ovation I have ever seen on the Oscar’s
